Death of a Language

Language does play an important role in cultural identity and we should care because the language goes hand in hand with its tradition and its rituals. It may have been around for hundreds if not thousands of years and is also a creative way of separating one culture from the next. Language and culture would evolve over time, but if a language is lost, there would be other dialects or forms of communication that would stem from it. Preserving the language is the responsibility of those that remain.
